Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The allegations against Swalwell have led to a familiar sequence of events: denial, apology, and resignation. The Department of Justice investigation is the latest development in a story that has unfolded with a sense of inevitability. Swalwell’s statement, in which he apologized for his mistakes while denying the allegations, followed a predictable script. The fact that he is now the subject of a federal investigation feels like a foregone conclusion.
